Although a lot has already been set, I would like to add my two cents.
The kops plateau masked helmets (with the horse hair decorations on the bowl) were made of iron with sheet silver copys glued over the mask. E.G. two masks were produced by the artisan, one of 32-layered steel, the other of silver sheet and then glued together.
The Nijmegen (waal-river) helmet has really deep repousse decorations into the browband. This silvered helmet had gilded decorations on the browband and the mask, giving it a two-tone appearance.
The amerongen brow-band was made of brass and partly covered in silver/tinn and gold to give more details to the decorations.
The Vechten mask was left with a 'copper-alloy' finish, probably a bit darked as to modern brass.
